If Cablevision and Time Warner can’t come to an agreement on the price of MSG Network and Fox Sports New York, the two networks could be pulled from 2.4 million homes at midnight on Monday.

The likelihood of a deal being struck before then would seem unlikely, considering the two sides have tried to reach an accord since December 2003. If an agreement is not made, fans could be without Mets exhibition baseball and Knicks regular-season basketball. Over the last year, the two sides have worked with an interim deal. There was an 11-day blackout in August of last year.

“We expect that our issue with Time-Warner Cable will be resolved before it has any effect on our customers and fans,” said MSG Networks spokesman Eric Gelfand.
